Binh Danh - Leaf Photos
Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 8:49AM 
A former student sent me a link to this on Facebook, and I just had to share it. Binh Danh is making photographs on leaves, by taking advantage of their sensitivity to light. This is a new spin on the tire left on the lawn. I tried this with students a few semesters back, but we were working with potted plants inside - and I think the windows had a UV filter on them. Our results were dreadful compared to his. So I am newly inspired!
There is an article about his work on the NPR website, and more at his website. Check it out, and learn more about the process.
